My Pep (Personal exercise programme).

My Pep (Personal exercise programme) I have recently been assigned a PEP by my college lecturer, in this programme I shall be presented to improve a specific fitness level which is sit-ups. I shall construct a regime in which I will better myself by doing a specialised exercise plan. This plan shall help me gain a better technique and additionally improve my current standard. I believe that during every session I should take regular breaks to regenerate my stamina and strength. The fitness requirements I will need to incorporate in my PEP are; *Muscular Endurance, this is required due to sit-up being a muscular endured exercise. I will need to focus upon my abdominal region mainly due to it being the major key part in my PEP. *Dynamic strength, this will be a major roll in my ab-bleep test. Basically due to the test being over a long period of time so I will need to apply an equal amount of force throughout a long period of time. *Power is needed to help me speed up my sit-ups after reaching a specific stage in the bleep test. I will need to use the power efficiently. Component Fitness Test Result Compared with national results Muscular Endurance Ab-bleep test level 7 good Dynamic Strength and 3/4 mile run 9:06 mins good Power Vertical jump 46 cm good/excellent I have chosen to take the ab-bleep again to try and improve the overall level of the sit ups.

PE - 6 Week Training Programme

6 Week Training Programme I have decided to write a training program because I need to improve my fitness and level of performance in the sport of football. This program links to my sport because it helps improve aspects of my game which I need to improve. I like this sport because it's fun to play and it can be played almost anywhere as long as you have a football. Also you play as a team which can help you improve your social well-being. I played two week for a team in Edmonton without much success as I only spent two weeks and only played two matches there. Within my 6 week training program I will focus on improving my endurance and shooting. These components are important in football because if you don't have endurance you can't last the whole 90 minutes of a match and you will tire out quickly. You need to be able to shoot well to be able to score goals to help your team win the match. I have played football for 10-11 years. To test my endurance I did the bleep test to see how long I can go for without getting tired. For shooting I practiced accuracy to see how many time I would get the ball on target. Fitness component to be measured: Endurance Name of test: Bleep Test To try and improve my endurance I will do a bleep test because that's what a bleep test is made for - to see how long/far you can go without stopping or getting tired. Component to be measured:

A Brief History of 'football.'

A Brief History of 'football.' So many ancient cultures played a sport similar to modern football that no one can say with any certainty when or where football began. But it is known that the earlier varieties of what later became football were played almost 3000 years ago. One of the earliest forms of football in which players kicked a ball on a small field has been traced as far back as 1004 B.C. in Japan. The Munich Ethnological Museum in Germany has a Chinese text from approximately 50 B.C. that mentions games very similar to football that were played between teams from china and Japan. The Chinese kicked a leather ball (filled) with hari) and it is known for sure that a football game was played in 611 AD, in the ancient Japanese capital Kyoto. The ancient Romans played a game that somewhat resembled modern football. The early Olympic Games in ancient Rome featured twenty-seven men on a side who completed so vigorously that two-thirds of them had to be hospitalized after a fifty-minute game. While ancient historians kept records of such conspicuous events as wars and religious movements, they apparently had little interest in preserving the various origins of football or other sports, so no one can say how soccer seems to have spread from Asia to Europe. But when the game finally did get to England, it had acquired a bad enough reputation among British royalty that

How muscular strength, endurance, size and actions can beenhanced by fitness and training for daily tasks.

How muscular strength, endurance, size and actions can be enhanced by fitness and training for daily tasks. Muscular strength is the ability of the muscles to exert force and it has been described as 'the amount of force you can produce with a single maximum effort'. This is very important to us, as we need it for some if not all of the following reasons: ) To increase work capacity 2) To decrease the chance of injury 3) To prevent lower back pain 4) To improve or prevent poor posture 5) To improve athletic performance 6) To save a life or property in the event of an emergency situation 7) To aid rehabilitation after illness or injury Muscular endurance is the ability to use the voluntary muscles many times without getting tired. This is different to the concept of muscular strength however the two things are related and go hand in hand. Some people are able to exert the necessary force for certain actions but they cannot continue doing this for long periods of time, these people need to improve their muscular endurance. Some people cannot actually do these tasks because their muscles are not big enough or strong enough. These people need to improve their muscular strength and need to increase their muscle size. All these things can be enhanced by fitness and training and in turn make it easier to do the daily tasks that I have mentioned. Fitness is the ability to

The Pure Theory of Law

Personal Details Name: Age: D.O.B: Height: Weight: Injury concerns: Present fitness levels: Facilities available: Present sporting Activity: At present I take part in various sporting activities. Some for recreational purposes such as my local leisure centre's volleyball team, and others for competitive purposes such as camogie and Gaelic football. I also play Gaelic football for my school and also for my parish team. I also play camogie for my school team. I have been playing camogie and football for about nine or ten years now. My main position on a football team is centre halfback; this position requires a lot of cardiovascular fitness, muscular endurance. Planning the programme. Purpose of my PEP. It is my intention through this Personal Exercise Programme to improve my cardiovascular fitness as well as my muscular endurance. As a Gaelic football player I understand just how important these two components are in relation to the game of Gaelic football. They are vital to promote good performance throughout a match. By improving these components I hope to improve my own performance throughout a match. Improving my cardio-vascular fitness will help me to be more involved in the game, it will enable me to keep working at a steady rate throughout the match and better take on the role as an attacking back. As we know players generally tend to become tired

The strengths of a Goalkeeper.

G.C.S.E. P.E. Coursework page 1 of 2 Name: Gianni Mulé School: St Thomas More RC School Activity: Football Position: Goalkeeper Name of Player: Gianluigi Buffon For my GCSE PE Coursework I'll be writing about the strengths of a Goalkeeper. A Goalkeeper always needs to be fit before a match because even though he doesn't need to run on the pitch a lot a goalkeeper needs to be fit because if they are not fit they will have difficulties diving to reach a ball when an opponent tries to score and also the keeper might get the ball blasted onto him so he might go down because he is not fit enough to take the shot coming towards him. A Goalkeepers vision is very important for his job because if the keepers vision is bad he wont be able to see the shots coming towards him and then the opponent can score a goal. I think the most important part of a Goalkeepers currier is if he has good grip with his hands because if he is clumsy the opposing player shot will slip right through the keepers hands therefore he lets in a silly goal so the keeper must make sure he has his hands nice and steady and make sure he doesn't have a injury to one of his fingers because if his fingers are injured and the ball hits it hard the keeper could have a broken finger and that could be a permanent injury ending his goalkeeping currier. A Goalkeeper must be a good goal kick taker and

PEP for Rock Climbing

Strength Training for Rock Climbing Rock climbing is a sport that requires strength, coordination, flexibility, endurance, and balance. It is an excellent cross training activity for many other sports such as basketball, racquet sports, and baseball which require strengthening the intrinsic muscles of the feet, lower legs, and hand grip. Psychological demands also come into play; such as puzzle solving skills, team building, and the ability to plan movements in advance. Climbing is a physically challenging, vertical chess match. Common Muscle Imbalances Although every individual is different, there are common muscle imbalances seen in regular rock climbers. Muscles that are commonly tight and need to be stretched include: latissimus dorsi, biceps, forearm and finger flexors. Muscles that are commonly weak and need to be strengthened include: wrist and finger extensors, anterior tibialis, pectorals and anterior shoulder girdle, triceps, rotator cuff and scapular stabilizers, mid and lower trapezius, trunk stabilizers such as spinal erectors and abdominals. Imbalances may need to be addressed not only to improve climbing performance, but to prevent injury. Training Components Components of a properly designed climbing program include flexibility, strength training, proprioception, balance and agility, plyometrics, aerobic and anaerobic cardiovascular fitness. Perhaps the
